- The Kamado Joe Classic 3 arrived this week so I wanted to take a moment to show you the grill and give some comparisons to the Classic 2. I also broke the grill in by cooking a 10 pound Boston Butt...

I like that KJ is always innovating. Some others in this market are standing still.
I'm not sold on this new technology yet, but I do like the additional capacity you can now get with this new design. Now I can fit my logs in there without splitting them up so small. Plus 3 levels lets me use a drip pan, and 2 additional levels of food. I can see 6-8 racks of ribs getting on a classic now. That's good.
Great video, excellent detail. Thank you!
Really like the new model. These grills work great and efficient.
Nice vid. BTW, have seen some friends use Harbor Freight poly coated gloves for cooking. Had a pack I bought for use around the house and once I sweated in a pair my hands broke out in a rash. Eventually I had to see my doctor because of pain and swelling and he advised not using ANY Chinese made gloves due to chemical contamination. My hands took about 3 weeks to heal the backs of them and I tossed the remainder of the gloves. Now I would never even touch food with them and I'm told silicone products from China may have the same issues. Bonus! I scored a Primo Oval Jr. at the local thrift outlet for $40, including the stainless stand. I'm now learning to cook with it and plan on adding the splitter and the top grates. My pizza stone doesn't fit this Jr. but I'll find one that does. The Primo glazed one is at a premium but I'm tempted.
So happy with my 2!!
Dude your video is tha sickest I've seen! I'm sold on tha kamado joe
Thanks John....Just what I needed...more money...
Thank you for your comparison b/t both style kamado Joe video review
Glad I bought a classic 2.
me too
What impacts do these changes have on the price? Can we expect the Classic II to go on sale much like the Classic I's keep popping up on sale at Lowes? (in Canada)
Do the Half Moon heat deflectors come with buying the grill or are they an option? Thanks
Slow roller??? Looks like another think that I will have to clean.
Glad they got rid of those plastic side shelves! Maybe I can order these aluminum ones for my Big Joe II.
John could you post a link for your apron? I've been looking for a better bbq apron lately my old one is pretty beat up.
Have y’all considered creating a device/tool to make it easier to get the firebox “petals” aligned for ease of placing the top fire ring? Especially for a one person assembly? And will you be doing a cook with the SlōRoller without it being protected by a pan or foil or........?
Yes, I would like to see a catch pan on the bottom rack just above slo roller and meat on the top rack. How much meat will fit in top rack and how well does it cook? Would also like to see no catch pan and meat on the rack just above the slo roller. How does that cook?
How do you maintain 250 degrees, or any temperature for that long without constant monitoring??
Can u take the slow roller and 3 tier divide and conquer and use in a classic 2 grill?
Can you use briquettes in the kJ III? Wouldn’t the basket enable this?
Can the KJ Grill Expander fit on top with the slow roller in place? IE, is there room for the lid to shut?
I just got a big joe a few months ago and love it, except the cart. Casters are too small and a bottom shelf is an obvious add on. Has anyone fabricated a shelf on the big joe cart? I can mig so it shouldn’t be too hard but pls let me know any ideas or lessons learned. And any ideas on upgrading the casters would be helpful too. Thx!w
I don't get the point of the slow roller? Only improvement I like is the new heavier duty looking cart it sits on.
Did you have to load more charcoal during those 14 hours? Or a single load of charcoal on the KJ lasts that long or even more?
I would love to get this, but none of the vendors in the Boston area seem to have the classic 3 available nor do they help with assembly. There are plenty of classic 2 vendors and it’s frustrating that the Kamari joe website doesn’t even sell the classic 3 directly.
I don’t even know what model I have-whatever they made about 6 years ago-but I love it. I’ve never regretted selecting Joe, although the store had only one alongside a dozen or more of the more common brand.
Come on, man, looking to detect difference in flavor due to these Classic III “enhancements” is really a stretch, won’t you admit? Remember to control your experiments for variances in meat, rub, coals, chips, etc. - oh, and do blind tastings.
Still, enjoyed your video. Thanks.
You may have mentioned it, but what material is that slo roller made out of? If it can only handle 500f, what's an alternate solution if you want to make pizzas?
Have you tried putting the wood chunks under your lump? Several top cooks say you get better smoke.
How do ya add charcoal for a long cook? Too many pieces of grill to deal with.
Kamado Joe managed to complicate a close to perfect grill with the classic 3
John sesler for president! The grill? Not my cuppa.
Can you add a drip pan above the slowroller and under the pork if wanted?
Yes you can.
"Slow Roller" seems like a solution to a problem that didn't exist
Senan Crotty yeah I’m really not understanding it, seems like way too many bits
I agree. No more split heat diversion? I really don't understand the point the half moon heat defectors rock
I agree, but with that said I like to waste money 😂
@@mgalan16 i want to test it to see the difference, if i can take the 3 after the test :)
@@MrJoshcc600 You can do that, it comes with the 2 half moons and the DC rack
Can i fit Slōroller to classic 2?
If I have classic 2 version and I have charcoal basket so I don’t need Cast iron fire grade and I can take it out and so control temperature better ?
Yes, take that grate out. You don't need it if you have a basket.
jeah thats a pooint i miss in the compairson , in prinziple john only explains the 3 and not what from the 3 u can use for ur old.. , looks like Kamado Joe abandoned, the u can use any upgrade for ur old thing :(
Anyone know what kind of gloves John is wearing?
Are they heat resistant at all? Thank you, John.
Please do a beef tenderloin on the KJ3!
Is there anything that the classic 3 can do that the original classic can't?
Great video John, nice to see what’s changed.
3 cooking levels. Game changer. Tell me John, are you the official kamado joe sales rep?
@@KamadoJoeGrills Surely you must get all the gear for free from the manufacture. You do a fine job of showcasing the many recipes and the in depth guides of how to set up the grill is outstanding. All of this convinced me to pick up the 18" classic ii series.
jeah but how do u cook on 3 lvls if u cant reach the third? the third only makes one sence to put in a driping pan so u have 2 to cook
So the "slow roller" just replaces the ceramic heat deflectors? Don't see the purpose. Also hope all these upgrades are compatable with older models these kamados are supposed to be a lifetime investment, love the aluminum side racks i melted my plastic ones a bit right on my 1st cook !!
Josh Cc600 I have my Joe in a table,,,,I have extra shelves for the II, pay the shipping and they are yours
Me too a big melted ring on one shelf Beer was flowing that cook
Thanks Chris but it's jyst cosmetic. Have a steel grocery cart thing i store all my accessories in now that i can put hot parts on. Eventually may build a nest for it but the cart is awful convenient to roll out of the roofed area so i don't smoke it up. Built a whole outdoor kitchen area with that in mind but now don't wanna blacken up the roof and walls..
Did some google research. Slow roller is NOT compatible with joe 1 and 2 because they changed the shape of the entire grill. Our old 1's and 2's are now obsolete. Only hope they continue to make replacement parts for our lifetime warranty or even 5 year on grates and hinges...
how did u melt racks on the side ????
Nice and cool new technology from Komado. Thanks for sharing John.
Great comparison video, keep them coming! Thanks!
John is the slo-roller available for the classic 2?
No
the slow cooker needs a longer chamber size.
It is now.
john i wished u made a better compairson, by building up both the same to see how it looks on both for new customers, for me as buyer from the old i wished u had sayed something to the classic 2 if the Grill basket fits in the old or not... also iam a bit irritated, ok i have now a grill with a resting place for the Deflector plates, but for what do i need them with the slow roller ?
The slow roller is only able to stand low heat. If your doing something like pizza you need the heat defectors still. Plus on the new gen 3 it has 3 levels you can pack food in instead of 2 (if its thin enough like ribs) but only if you use the heat deflectors because the slow roller is tall and takes us space from 1 of those racks
What is the physical size difference between the 2 and the 3?
the hight is the same, but the new one is a bit longer, goes more down, u dont even have the problem with the slowcooker, if u have build a Desk or buyed one the new one wont fit in the Desk, cuz he is larger in hight...
That KJ juiciness!
Seems like you'd have to cook the butt in a pan if you use the slow roller, since it doesn't look like a drip pan would easily fit on top of the slow roller.
Plenty of room for the drip pan.
What about weight difference?
Just went to get one of these and it doesn't come in the black color like all the other Joe's what's up with that? I know color won't effect the cook but I'm not a fan of that faded red color at all and if I'm not 100% happy then I'm sorry but I'm not forking out my cash.
Looks nice, is the actual height different or is that an illusion?
@@KamadoJoeGrills so size difference means new upgrade parts aren't compatible with older models?
Did google searching its absolutely different. All version 3 are taller making the upgrades to your lifetime purchase incompatible with all versions from here on forward. Gotta say that stagnant BGE looks more appealing now because at least it will be supported in the future models.
how many lbs/bag of charcoal for 10 lbs of pork ?
Looks Impressive John, The color of the butt and Smoke ring was great. I went to Costco Road show today they did not have those available, looking forward to more cooks.
John Knapp oh no. I forgot to go to that.
@@BEERNBBQBYLARRY you didn't miss much, I got there around noon. I thought I seen individual with empty kamato Joe skid, I got to talking to him and asked if anyone had got the floor model, he tells me no, so I asked him do they still give Joe Jr. With floor model, he says no because two guys in Texas got into fight over it, now they would hive you extension rack and some other item for about 100.00 dollars. I wanted to see the 3 and If price was right I was ready to purchase. The Big Joe was 1499.00 you could pickup Joetiseree for big Joe 184.00, they have xlbig block 80lbs for 79.99. If you have Costco Membership I think you can get same prices online. I decided to get the 80lbs of the xl lump. 85.00 delivered. Check out the Ceramic Store Austin Texas they have Big Joe 3 2098.00 lift gate delivery, there 300.00 cheaper than ABT. Hope that helps. I will have to say the Big Joe 2 is impressive with multiple piece Firefox and the airlift hinge. John Setzler has had a couple videos of the 3 now.
So you have to break this all apart to add more wood part way through the cooking cycle?
Exactly my point. Makes no sense.
Since a full load will run for about 24 hours plus doing a slow cook, not sure that adding more fuel is a problem???
No place for a drip pan?
u have 3 lvls to put it in whats ur Point?
No you don't have 3 levels. You only have 2 levels with the slow roller in position. The drip pan would sit right on top of the top of the slow roller. John, can you do another cook using a drip pan on top of the slow roller?
14 hours?!?!?!
B4
Damn that looks too complicated.
Lame. Will buy the Classic II.
Why did I just get an email for a year old video?
Seriously? You smoked in the pan?!?!!!Were you afraid to get the slo-roller cap dirty??? Cmon man.!
I do it too. Easier for me to manipulate the rack. Personal preference for me
Slow roller looks like it stops us from using logs of wood and makes us use only chunks. No thank you.
Send me one for my big joe 2 or classic 1 so I can see for myself, lol..
So you would like me to spend a small fortune on your ultimate super outdoor cooker , And you haven’t thought about it enough, that we need to go to the hardware shop and buy some spacers? Really?
Just a guess but maybe referring to the spacers used between the heat deflectors and the pizza stone?
Holy crap, that set-up seems like a PITA. I'll stick with my classic joe.
@BachieGaga 9
Pain in the Ass.
I did a pork butt for the first time took me 9hrs. And after all that I realized I didn’t like pork.
Lol
I hope you did not waste those juices from the cook. That screamed to be made into a sauce or something.
@@KamadoJoeGrills "Might" make a roux??? Us old South Alabama boys would have a sure enough use for those drippings. Best thing for a roux you could have.
Kamado Joe warranty policy sucks. Their customer service is even worse.
An antihistamine is needed here!
As you put your nasty pork paws all over those shakers!!🤮
